Figures from - Mapping and prioritizing a regional climate corridor network in the Amazon basin

Interactive Figures

The following figures are interactive versions of those included in the New Venture Fund project - Mapping and prioritizing a regional climate corridor network in the Amazon basin.

It is important to note that the are not exact replicates, but all of the information included in them is the same.

Figure 1

Summary figure of the study area of interest (AOI), biogeographical provinces, protected areas and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs).

Figure 2

A map of biome wide conductance and summaries by province. Where conductance represents movement potential for biodiversity throughout the Amazon. High conductance (darker colors) represents greater movement potential and low conductance represents lower movement potential (lighter colors).

Important note this layer has been down-scaled to allow plotting.

Figure 3A

Corridor characterization summary. Where, ‘Path density’ = least cost path density (number of paths per 10 km2) based on a total of 2217 least cost paths throughout the region.

Figure 3B

Corridor characterization summary. ‘Circuitscape’ = current flow output in percentile bins. Higher current flow represents greater ecological movement potential (i.e., more corridors).

Figure 4A

Summaries of priority areas (circuitscape). Where, ‘circuitscape’ = high-current flow areas as define by circuitscape analysis (≥ 80th percentile), including both unprotected and protected locations.

Figure 4B

Summaries of priority corridors (least cost paths). ‘least cost paths’ = least cost paths by priority level. Shown here are 115 high-, 834 medium-, and 1,268 low-priority corridors based on the principal components analyses.
